If you ran it as a 6 core 6 thread, it'd still have better results, but it's moot given its price.

6 Core Intel @ 4.9Ghz = 1248
8 Core AMD @ 4.9Ghz = 769
70% faster with 2 fewer cores....How depressing.

AMD market the 83xx chips as eight core not 4 core.
Bearing that in mind the performance is awful.
It is not surprising though as there are only 4 FPU units.
The 4770K overclocked is 4% faster than the 8320 overclocked in this benchmark, with both running all cores. How does that make performance awful?
1.) You've chosen a better than average FX8320.
2.) You've chosen a fairly lower clocked i7 4770K.
3.) You're ignoring the 3770K result Wazza just posted.
4.) For an 8 core it's pretty pitiful performance, the performance level maxed out it gives is fast, but for an 8 core? It's not, which is hopefully how PCZ meant it (Having owned one)
Not getting into this again, I've said my bit.
